BEGINNER HEARTS ~ Online Cookie Decorating Class
Our beginner BEGINNER HEARTS online cookie decorating class is the perfect way to explore your inner decorator and start your cookie journey off with a smile!
This set was designed with at-home beginner cookiers in mind, so it uses ONE consistency, JUST 3 colors (but I encourage you to use whatever color combo makes you happy!) and just one cookie cutter.
Fewer colors, consistencies and cutters means less time prepping and less money spent on supplies. Yes, you heard that right! Now that's my kind of beginner class!
Skill Level: Beginner
Video Duration: 2 hours
Designs Covered: 12
What you receive with purchase:
- Class video recording (delivered as if it was a live class, so you're transported right into my energy and will finish the class having completed the entire set of cookies)
- Digital workbook (step-by-step instructions that guide you through purchasing supplies, baking the cookies, making the icing and decorating the cookies)
Skills covered in this class:
- One consistency outline and flood
- Working with tipless bags (and cutting tipless bags)
- Piping and flooding with a thick flood
- Working with sprinkles
- Wet on wet technique
- Basic line work with a flood consistency
- Crackle technique
The cutter used in this class is the 3.25" basic heart cutter from Brighton Cutters. (The workbook also provides alternative cutter options, including options from Amazon.)
The original sets of cookie cutters are all linked in the description of each class listing. The class workbook includes alternatives options from sources like Amazon, for example.
A general guideline for skill level:
- Beginner: never worked with royal icing before (even if you're an experienced baker) or a handful of times
- Advanced Beginner: has worked with royal icing for +/- 6 months and sometimes gets the icing consistency right
- Intermediate: has worked with royal icing for 1 year+ and often gets the icing consistency right
My classes are designed for success *no matter* how much experience you have with royal icing. Whether you've never touched it before or you've been working with royal icing for years, you are SURE to impress all of your friends and family with your edible creations thanks to my detailed instructions and warm approach!
All of my cookie decorating classes include the same cookie and icing prep regardless of the skill level. While others differentiate skill level partly based on how much prep is provided, I provide the same prep regardless and differentiate skill level based on the techniques covered in the set and amount of decorations/tools required.

Thanks to this class, I freaking did it!!! I made 18 (delicious) sugar cookies and decorated them all with royal icing!! I didn’t even know what royal icing even was before this class lol. Were my cookies perfect?? No! Was it a fun and informative class?? Yes! I loved every minute of this heart class. I’ve never made a sugar cookie from scratch and definitely never icing. But, Grace made it easy for a beginner like me! The digital workbook was super helpful! It was full of information, troubleshooting tips, modifications, shopping list options, tons of photos, descriptive language, and overall visually appealing.
What I found most helpful were the links to Grace’s YouTube videos!! So so easy to pause the video as you go! Was able to achieve a {mostly} perfect icing consistency thanks to the videos!
PRO TIP: get the perforated baking mats. Worth every penny!
Buy this class! It was super fun!
Next class I’m going to try is the Thanksgiving circle one. Grace has built my confidence as a baker :) thank you!!!
This was my first attempt ever at cookie decorating, roll out dough, and royal icing and to say I was impressed with myself is an understatement. This class was so easy to follow all the additional resources and videos really made me feel like I was prepared. Amazing job Grace! I’ll be taking more after I practice what I’ve learned some more.
I had a great time learning and experiencing cookie decorating for the first time with this course. Everything is well laid out, plenty of videos to walk you through every step and made me feel extremely comfortable with the process. I didn't have a heart cutout, but my circle worked just the same, and they turned out so cute! The vanilla cookie and lemon icing was a delicious duo! Will definitely recommend to others, and I will be trying more classes!
We kind of did whatever we wanted in terms of the color palette. It was fun but I wish we’d done the same colors as Grace or at least more pigmented/ higher contrast colors. The instructions made it so approachable. My artistic skills haven’t improved since kindergarten. I was pretty worried, but I think they’re so cute for a first attempt! I’ll definitely be taking more classes. And I can’t wait to see what else Grace comes up with!
I absolutely loved this class. Baking is my passion but I typically stay away from cutout cookies and royal icing. But Grace is a fantastic teacher and made every step and process along the way easier to understand. The learning curve is significant and I noticed a big difference in the consistencies of each of my colors but kept going with the flow despite icing running over the edges. I can’t wait to take the strawberry lemonade class next. Thank you, Grace for creating a workbook that is very user friendly and for using your talents to teach others how to find success with such a difficult medium. Wow! So impressed with what you’re doing. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
